HC Deb 17 November 1977 vol 939 c353W
Mr. Knox

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish in the Official Report a table showing for each year since 1945 the percentage increase or decrease in the external value of the £ sterling in terms of the dollar and the value of the £ sterling in terms of the dollar, respectively.

Mr. Denzil Davies

The middle market telegraphic transfer rates for sterling in terms of the US dollar are available for the last working day of each month from 1945 to 1974 in the Bank of England Statistical Abstracts Nos. 1 and 2. Later figures are available in both the Bank of England "Quarterly Bulletins" and in "Financial Statistics". Copies of all these publications are available in the Library.
